Fowl pox is a viral disease spread by the bites of mosquitoes. Your chicks haven't been in the world yet. Mosquitoes aren't around in winter, that wouldn't make sense. Someone must have gotten diseased in the egg. Give them electrolytes in their water a vitamins. You said he eye was crusty? It could be conjunctivitis. You should get some drops for the chicks.
